“…Another band, also wide, between 1350 and 1670 nm, results from the overlapping of two absorption bands. The first band, located between 1350 and 1550 nm, is related to first overtone of the combination band from C-H + C-H and C-H + C-C stretching and, the second band, between 1400 and 1670 nm, is related to the first overtone of O-H stretching from the alcohols (methanol and ethanol) [17,19]. In the region below 1449 nm, methyl (-CH 3 ) and methylene (-CH 2 -) groups absorption, coming from the different hydrocarbons and alcohols present in the beverages, are observed [17,19].…”
